It is a nice thing and almost a
standard thing to put the anti-
drug abuse screen into a game:
"Winners Don't Use Drugs".
That's still fine nowadays ex~
cept that the director of th~ _
FBI is no longer William Ses-
sions. He was canned awhile
back. Don't you guys keep up
with current events?
SoLUTION
Putting the video message:
"Winners Don't Use Drugs"
without him as the FBI direc-
tor would be more accurate.
SUGGESTION
One thing I would like to see
instead of this recycling crap
messages video game manu-
facturers are starting to put
into the games, is what game
manufacturer Sente did some
years ago: They put pictures o~
missing children in the games.
Now that, in my opinion,
would serve a more worth-
while purpose .
